My mental windows refuse to close.

My day was full of joy with these two.

I’m getting prints of these.

“No more pictures!.. the crazy picture lady is back, hide!”

He strongly believes he is spider man, and I do too.

Little sis: What kind of music is that? My foot is tapping.

All we had left was 3 eggs because I made an omelette with the rest.

When she’s happy, I’m happy.

Teaching my little sister how to tie her shoelaces.
We tried like 40 times already. She almost did it!
It’s bedtime for her so we’ll continue tomorrow & she’ll get it right.

Directing

Sometimes I think I’m too hard on my little sister. The reality that she’s only 6 years old escapes, and her actions get way over my head. I’m not talking beat the living hell out of her. My words or tone may be too harsh. Even if I explain to her why I react that way later on, I feel she doesn’t reason (which is normal), and that can be misleading to her understanding as to why. She’ll probably just label it as being “mean”, as most children do. I just honestly don’t want her to become an airhead or express any of the utter nonsense I see in people every day. She’s going to pick up on her own ethics eventually. I don’t want to mold her personality, but I do want to influence her conduct and response to life around her. And in reality, many things are grasped from childhood stages anyway. I know grasps consist of cognizance and behavior from different people. Still, I would feel like a failure if I didn’t at least place her in the right direction.
